Actually, using your cable modem connection to host a website is most likely against the terms of service of your cable company - unless you pay for a "business account" that typically costs a lot more and all you get is a fixed IP address and their permission to run servers. I say, if your main concern is ease of use, go with .Mac, and if your main concern is cost, use the 70 MB of web space that you're already paying for every month on your cable bill. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
